Jane and Rick came to me after their sex life dwindled. They went from having sex several times a week at the beginning of their relationship to once a week for a while and, currently, once every few months at best.

Rick and Jane met when they were in their late 20s. Both were working at the time, and neither had children. After eight years of marriage and two kids, ages 2 and 4, their lives were very different. Jane was exhausted. She constantly made sure the kids had everything they needed. She got them clothes, made all their doctor’s appointments, registered them for activities and programs, signed them up for camp, interviewed babysitters, and researched any problems she encountered.

Rick was tired, too.........
